Mormon magic underwear, also known as temple garments, are an important aspect of the Mormon faith. These special undergarments are worn by adult members who have gone through certain rituals in the temple. The garments are made of lightweight, white fabric and are meant to be worn as a reminder of the covenants made in the temple. They are believed to provide physical and spiritual protection, as well as strengthen adherence to religious principles. Mormons consider these undergarments to be sacred and treat them with reverence and respect. They are worn day and night, except during activities such as bathing and intimacy.
They are worn day and night, except during activities such as bathing and intimacy. Although the concept of temple garments may seem peculiar to outsiders, it is deeply meaningful to Mormons. The wearing of these undergarments is a constant reminder of one's commitment to God and the religious teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).

This print is a new color variant of Cat Feathers, the print design inspired by a 2018 commissioned portrait of a lady with her cat.
The same blocks that were used to create the orange tabby against the bright red and blue backgrounds of the original design, were used to create this grey and black cat against the teal background of Dark Magic. However, there are some changes to the composition even beyond the colors. The cat's amber eyes have new bokashi to make them feel more life-like. The fur is more detailed, with the addition of a medium grey hue that was added to the stripes by carving into the original block for the lighter stripe to create an extra layer for printing.
While each version of Cat Feathers was released unexpectedly by the artist, there will be no more variants as the blocks have now been destroyed.

During Japan’s Heian Period (794 to 1185), the site of this temple was adjacent to a large open air burial site, where dead bodies would be left to be devoured by the animals and the elements.
While some may view these garments as "magic" due to the perceived protective qualities, Mormons themselves see them as a symbol of their faith and devotion to God. It is important to note that temple garments are sacred and personal to individual Mormons. The specifics of their design and symbolism are not openly discussed or publicized, as they are meant to be a private matter between the wearer and God..
Reviews for "From Believer to Skeptic: One Woman's Journey with Mormon's Sacred Undergarments"
1. John - 1 star
I couldn't believe how ridiculous this product was. The idea of wearing special underwear for religious reasons just seems absurd to me. The material was uncomfortable and itchy, and I could never get used to wearing them. It felt like I was constantly wearing a reminder of my religious beliefs, and I didn't appreciate that. Overall, this product was a complete waste of money for me.

I purchased the Mormon magic underwear out of curiosity, and I have to say, it did not live up to the hype. The fit was off, and the fabric felt cheap. I didn't notice any supposed magical properties or enhanced spiritual experiences while wearing them. On top of that, I found it strange that a religious garment was being sold for profit. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking for a genuine religious experience or a comfortable undergarment.
